Rhythm of Life
Captain Hollywood Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One percent of the brain is used
The rest of it is only abused
Much too much we need to learn
Most of us are not concerned
Only, if we could share
Giving love, and show you care
I want to be of help
God's Word is the first
Meet the practice building up
Keeping away from blowing up
Training with your mind
Good thoughts of every kind
Positivity in the air
Show the world just what you dare
No step front, no step back
One step forward, two steps back

One step forward, two steps back
Straight line is always better than that
Listen to the rhythm of life and...
Change
One step forward, two steps back
How does it feel when you go like that
Listen to the rhythm of life, and...
You will change
One step forward, two steps back
Straight line is always better than that
Listen to the rhythm of life and...
Change
One step forward, two steps back
How does it feel when you go like that
Listen to the rhythm of life, and...
You will change

Keep the faith, and don't be afraid
Giving things without getting paid
We have got to start living tight
The black people and the white
Many kids they have to die
'Cause they have no food, why?
After that, then, we cry
Because we do not even try
Many countries still fight
Killing people day and night
No one dares to see the light
Every land think that they're right
Drugs sold on the street
Women selling their body heat
No step front, no step back
One step forward, two steps back

One step forward, two steps back
Straight line is always better than that
Listen to the rhythm of life and...
Change
One step forward, two steps back
How does it feel when you go like that
Listen to the rhythm of life, and...
You will change
One step forward, two steps back
Straight line is always better than that
Listen to the rhythm of life and...
Change
One step forward, two steps back
How does it feel when you go like that
Listen to the rhythm of life, and...
You will change

One step forward, two steps back
Straight line is always better than that
Listen to the rhythm of life and...
Change
One step forward, two steps back
How does it feel when you go like that
Listen to the rhythm of life, and...
You will change
One step forward, two steps back
Straight line is always better than that
Listen to the rhythm of life and...
Change
One step forward, two steps back
How does it feel when you go like that




Listen to the rhythm of life, and...
You will change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Captain Hollywood Project's song Rhythm of Life seem to be discussing the concept of progress and change in society. The first stanza suggests that humans possess a great deal of potential within their brains, but that potential is often wasted. Instead of trying to learn and grow, people tend to remain complacent and apathetic towards the world around them. However, the singer suggests that if people were to share their love and care for others, they could improve the world around them by using the power of positivity.


The chorus repeats the idea of "one step forward, two steps back," which suggests that progress is not always straightforward or easy. The singer encourages listeners to focus on the rhythm of life, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the natural flow of events, and to change their behavior. The second stanza goes on to describe some of the problems that exist in modern society, such as poverty, violence, and drug addiction. The singer seems to be suggesting that these problems are caused by a lack of empathy and connection between people. By working together and striving towards positive change, people can make the world a better place.


Overall, the lyrics to Rhythm of Life seem to be a call to action. The singer wants listeners to take action towards making positive changes in the world and to focus on what really matters in life. The song encourages people to push past their apathy and to work towards a better future for everyone.

I love this music!!! This album is a classic for eternity. I remember when my friend bought a k-7 version of this gem. I heard all tracks then i heard everything again and again....and even nowadays the cap hollywood classic makes me feel the same feeling that i felt in the past. This is a perfect combination between house,rap,pop,soul with powerful voices full of stylish that sing intelligent lyrics. Why today the great part of the tracks are so stupid?

No you didn’t.

This album is classic, but actually it's ultra modern !!! The lyrics present a real actuality of our days. Music & sounds are giving the great feeling. A big mental courage for one man to admit : " Love is not Sex". High level of intelectual developement.... not easy to find in "our days music hits". By the way ...I discovered  Captain Hollywood Project band and their music just TODAY !!! By chance ! Lucky me !!!
